Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

"Master Jingzhong has sent news."

Lin Butler took the letter he had just received and hurried straight to Lin Ruhai's academy.Lin Ruhai has been waiting for news from Beijing since the Meng family brought their child to Beijing and immediately sent people to Beijing to look for Lin Ruhai.

"Really, bring it quickly."

Lin Ruhai, who was approving official documents, hurriedly put down the brush to take the letter from Butler Lin, and eagerly tore it open to take out the letter paper. He glanced at ten lines, but the expression on his face faded from joy to unpredictable.

"Uncle Cheng, go down first."

"Yes, sir.

Lin Butler also looked at the letter paper earnestly, hoping that the master would reveal some news to him, but Lin Ruhai obviously didn't mean it.After dismissing Butler Lin, he was no longer in the mood just now, and he sat down intentionally and weakly.

In fact, after receiving the letter, Lin Ruhai's mood was extremely complicated. In fact, he hadn't decided whether to take Meng's mother and son back home.Since Lin Ruhai knew that he had a son and a daughter, it could be said that he was overjoyed, but this joy was a little less than that of a legitimate son.

Lin Ruhai is a literati, and literati are always somewhat pedantic; although there is nothing wrong with valuing the illegitimate son, but ignoring or ignoring the illegitimate son because of too much emphasis on the illegitimate son, this is too inflexible and too indifferent.

Just like Lin Ruhai, the child in Jia Min's womb has not yet been born and even does not know whether it will be born safely, but Meng Zhou, who has grown up safely in Lin Ruhai's heart, cannot be compared with the child in Jia Min's womb.

He had thought of bringing Meng's mother and son back before, but this idea has not been firm; especially he knows Jia Min's taboo towards Meng's mother and son, Jia Min is pregnant with a child now and he doesn't want to hurt his legitimate son; it can be said The idea of ​​not taking Meng's mother and son back is stronger than bringing them back.

But now after reading the letter from Jingzhong, the idea of ​​bringing Meng's mother and son back immediately is less.

For the first time, Lin Ruhai knew that the status of his concubine, the Meng family, was not low, at least not low enough to give him a concubine.Before this, he never thought that the Meng family had such a background and such a backer; Zhang Mu Zhangge, who had supported him when he was taking the imperial examination, was actually the grandfather of the Meng family. Siqing is the uncle of the Meng family, and Mr. Zhou, the left servant of the household department, is the uncle of the Meng family; not to mention the resigned Mr. Zhang Ge, the remaining three adults are much better than the Jia family.Although he didn't contact Jia's mansion in person, he also knew that although Jia's mansion was a state mansion, it had long been out of date.

At this time, Lin Ruhai suddenly thought of another thing, no wonder his mother would help the Meng family, how could he have forgotten that the wife of Mr. Zhou, the left servant of the household department, was his mother's handkerchief friend, maybe it was because of this friendship that Mr. Zhang Ge supported him back then .

Although I don't know why the Meng family agreed to be his concubine at the beginning, but now that the Meng family is going to Beijing to find relatives, neither the Zhou family nor the Zhang family will agree to let the Meng family come back to be his concubine.If you don't know, it's better if you know that Lin Ruhai, the benefactor's elder brother's granddaughter, will be his concubine, but he still can't do such a thing.

With the identity of the Meng family, he can only be the main wife of others, and he already has a main wife, so he can't take his wife as a concubine to marry the Meng family. unwilling.Min'er was his first wife, and she once mingled with him, and filed a case with him. Even if Min'er had various reasons, it was impossible for him to abolish his wife and remarry; what's more, Min'er had filial piety for his mother, and she was one of three things she would not do; The most important point is that he is a court official who abolished his wife for no reason. This would damage his official career and the reputation of the Lin family. It is impossible for him to do so.

After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai had to temporarily stop thinking about taking care of Meng's mother and son.

However, although he didn't want to take the Meng family back to the mansion, he didn't withdraw the people in Beijing. Maybe Lin Ruhai was looking forward to the two children he hadn't met, so he ordered people to secretly watch the three mothers and sons of the Meng family, at least let him know the news of the three. .

That's all, Lin Ruhai put away the letter, got up and left the study to go to the main courtyard.

"What is the lady doing?"

Lin Ruhai didn't go into the house directly, but first asked the maid who was guarding the door and pulling the curtain.

"Doctor Liu is here, and he is in the room asking for the pulse of his wife."

Hearing the doctor asking for Jia Min's pulse, Lin Ruhai couldn't help feeling depressed, and stepped into the room on his feet.When I entered the room, I saw Jia Min lying on the bed, her pale face was still pale, and although she had taken countless precious supplements, she was still not plump at all, and she was still shockingly thin; because she was too skinny, it had been six months Her pregnant belly doesn't look as big as someone else's five-month-old.Looking at Jia Min's stomach which is not considered Gao Long, the worry in Lin Ruhai's eyes intensified.

"Master, you are here."

Seeing Lin Ruhai and Jia Min smiling weakly at Lin Ruhai, his eyes were full of joy, obviously very happy that Lin Ruhai came to see her.Lin Ruhai sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand to hold Jia Min's other hand, returning her a gentle smile.

"Doctor Liu, how is my wife's health? Is the baby in the womb okay?"

"Mrs. Lin's body is well taken care of, much better than before, and the fetus in the womb is also better. It's just that Mrs. Lin's body is too thin, which is not good for the fetus. Mrs. Lin should eat more meals that are good for the fetus. The old man will come back later Prescribe a prescription for medicinal food, you must insist on eating more for the sake of the fetus in your womb.”

"Please trouble Dr. Liu, Madam Liu, go down with the doctor to write the prescription."

Jia Min smiled forcedly, it wasn't that she didn't want to eat, she knew it was good for the child to eat more, but she couldn't eat it at all.

"Master, I..."

"I know, you don't have to force yourself to have a baby." Lin Ruhai held Jia Min in his arms and patted Jia Min's hand to comfort him: "Don't think about other things, you just need to have a baby and give me a healthy brother. It is enough for me to have a son-in-law."

"Master!" Jia Min couldn't help crying, lying in Lin Ruhai's arms and weeping hard for himself.

She understood what Lin Ruhai meant, and knew Lin Ruhai's thoughts. Jia Min vented all the grievances she had suffered these days, and she was very moved.

"I've already thought about it. When you give birth to your brother, your nickname will be Changshou. First, suppress your luck. Let's wait until the first year to name him... Let's teach him to crawl, sit, and talk together, and you will be his little boy." Yi, I'll buy him a toy..."

"I listen to the master. I will take good care of the fetus to give the master a healthy brother. After the longevity is three years old, the master, you have to enlighten the longevity personally. I hope that our longevity can be like his father, and it will also be on the gold list in the future Nomination, maybe I can get another Tanhualang exam, our Lin family also has a good name for both Jinshi father and son who are Tanhua..."

"It is said that sons are like fathers. My Lin Ruhai's son naturally seems to be me. With my master, I will teach Changshou to be a Tanhualang in the future..."

"Hehe, look at you, master, you are so beautiful..."

Lin Ruhai held Jia Min in his arms and thought about the scene of his son after he was born. Jia Min also echoed Lin Ruhai. I think it must be the son.

Outside the door, Grandma Liu was extremely relieved to hear the words of the two masters in the room. Sure enough, the master still loves his wife very much. With the master protecting his wife, he will be able to give birth to his brother safely.The old lady in Beijing would be very happy if she knew that her wife gave birth to her brother safely.

Her family wants to be in Jia's house in Beijing, as long as the wife can give birth to her brother safely, since she has been serving the wife for decades, I hope the old lady can send her son a good job.

Because it is inconvenient for Lin Ruhai to stay in the main courtyard when Jia Min raised his baby, Lin Ruhai only went back to the front yard after eating with Jia Min. Jia Min gently told Lin Ruhai to pay attention to his body and sent Lin Ruhai away with a smile. Then she disappeared, and she immediately called Mother Liu in and said:

"Go and ask what's going on in the front yard today?"

"It's the wife."

Jia Min's face suddenly changed, Nanny Liu didn't understand, but she didn't dare to ask. Recently, his wife has been moody, even if she is his wife's nanny, she doesn't dare to touch his wife's bad luck.

Mother Liu came back after going out for a short while. Jia Min buried someone in the front yard, not someone in an important position, so Lin Ruhai didn't care even if she knew about it; Staring at Lin Ruhai, he told Jia Min about Lin Ruhai's affairs one by one; that's why Nanny Liu got the news from the front yard so quickly.

Although not much is known about it, butler Lin has a letter to the master, but he can't hide it.

Jia Min is a rare and intelligent woman, and soon she guessed that the letter must have something to do with Meng's mother and son, maybe something happened to Meng's mother and son that the master told her that.Could it be that Jingzhong's mother succeeded?Thinking of this, Jia Min couldn't help getting excited.

"Is there a letter from mother?"

"Not yet? Madame misses the old lady?"

Although Mammy Liu knew that Jia Min and Jia Shishi were exchanging letters, she didn't know exactly what Jia Min wrote and what Jia Shishi asked him to do.

"According to the fact that the days are the same as in previous years, the annual ceremony of the Duke's Mansion will be here in two days."

"There are still two days. It's okay, but I can afford to wait for two more days." Jia Min said this in his mouth, but he was very anxious in his heart, eager to know the exact news.

"Nurse continues to let people stare at the front yard. I will know every move in the front yard. In addition, when the annual ceremony of the Duke's mansion arrives, the old lady will send me a letter as soon as possible."

Jia Min has a delicate mind and is extremely sensitive. From Lin Ruhai to the main courtyard, she has felt Lin Ruhai's changes. Although Lin Ruhai said a lot of good things to her, she wants to know why Lin Ruhai is like this; Temperament and narrow-mindedness, she will not allow anyone who threatens her to exist; so even though Lin Ruhai hinted that she would not bring Meng's mother and son back, Jia Min didn't want to be in danger.

Lin Ruhai, who returned to the front yard to continue his business after having a heart-to-heart talk with Jia Min, did not know what Jia Min was thinking, let alone that his words did not really reassure Jia Min, and it was precisely because of his words that Jia Min Made bolder and more ruthless actions.Until later when Lin Ruhai found out, he was furious, and the last bit of nostalgia for Jia Min in his heart completely disappeared.
